It's the perfect juxtaposition of a crazy mall/amusement park insanity and the most peaceful experience. I went for the strawberry picking with my family and will definitely be coming again and again. Decided it should just be a family tradition at this rate. The prices are great and the fields have PLENTY of strawberries to pick. There was also garlic, potatoes, peas, and my personal favourite, wildflowers. I could easily spend a whole day here. It was super accessible and quaint but beautiful. Thank you for an amazing day out, and the most delicious strawberries.

My one year old came out with red strawberry stains all over his face so I think it's safe to say that he had the most fun. The farm is so very nice; they also had potato picking, flower picking, garlic picking and even green peas. The 2L basket was $15.

Our toddler loved feeding the goats, sheep, cows, and chickens, and the sand play area kept her entertained for even longer. The farm is well laid out with plenty of shaded areas, which made walking around comfortable on a warm day. We also enjoyed browsing the farm market and picking up some fresh local products before heading home. The cute farm theme and friendly atmosphere made for a fun and memorable outing. The only thing we would love to see added in the future is a small food and drink stand, as we could have easily spent a few more hours there. Overall, a great value for families with young children, and we'll definitely be back!

For about $7 you can purchase a bucket of corn and carrots to feed them!! So fun! Small enough space that it is easy to bring toddlers to walk through the site without worrying about taking a stroller through. Some sweet and savory treats for purchase on site as well. They have yummy tarts and pies and even some deli meats!

There's also a large area for sunflowers and pumpkin patch. Kids would enjoy the maze and large bumpy slide. Market: amazing variety. I am afraid to go inside especially the baked goods area. Everything is orderly and fresh. Going to buy all my veggies here from now on. RTBF also has a CSA program where vegetables can be delivered/picked up (curbside available) until early November. The portions and variety are amazing! We're so happy to have joined. Price was also very reasonable. Everything is always so fresh and tastes amazing. Our favourite are the cherry tomatoes. I have been eating them like candy! Some CSA items have been in our fridge for over a week and still looking fresh. A weekly letter is sent to give us ideas of what to make or maybe frozen for later. One of the perks of being in the CSA bin program is that admission to the farm is complimentary and we can come back anytime! Perfect if you have kids in the family. They also give you some veggies to feed the animals. Lots of parking. You can park on the grass if the gravel lot is full. Staff are very nice and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back soon!

It is closer to Toronto, around 30 minutes drive We came here during August long weekend to pick blueberry. The admission costs $5/person or $15/family. However, it is deductible from the total price of blueberry you bought. Maybe we came here too early. The blueberry is not ready yet, it tastes very sour. It is a nice farm to visit and good activity to do.

Not sure what the washroom facilities are like so it might be best to go find a nearby MacDonald's first. Cheers,

It gets better every year here!…read more This year we enjoyed another great afternoon here while the weather continued this heat wave. Admission changed to $10 a person and the 10 or 20 lb bags with no premium prices. They added a new corn maze in a new spot, parking lots are centralised and a tractor will take you to the furthest hills for Gala & HoneyCrisp. The tractor runs often and there's lots of space to bring wagons and strollers. The farm obstacle run in next to a corn kernel play area, shielded by a converted silo. The kids had a blast in here! Digging with sand toys and lots of space to swim in the corn kernels. I'm sure all parents loved it wasn't dirty like sand but just corn dust. The cafe kiosk is next to the kids play area so one can enjoy hot cider($3), cider donuts or other pastries while the kids play. There lots of big old trees to give shade to take a break from this hot afternoon. Lots of portapotty around and wash sinks at the play area, parking lot and top of the picking hill. The corn maze is themed for Minecraft, so hay bales or wooden crates and painted and stacked for photo ops. Lots of pumpkins decorations and photo ops. There's a bouncy farm animal toy penned off for kids to bounce and ride on. Really creative idea and such fun watching them all looking like they're bucking broncos. More animals added onto the farm, llamas, sheep and these cute shaggy cattle. Tip: save your apple core or fallen apples from the picking orchard to feed the animals at the end, they really do appreciate it! It might be further for some but it's an easy, scenic afternoon drive. I love how it's busy but not crowded like the ones closer to Toronto.

As I was following the trail on Google Maps, I found that I could get on the trail from the Humber Arboretum. The arboretum is massive. It's well-kept with plenty of greenery mixed in with bright reds, yellows, and purples. There were a few groups taking wedding photos when I visited and I felt out of place in shorts and a tshirt. It's absolutely beautiful here and is a refreshing oasis from the surrounding concrete jungle. There are only 4 parking spots here, so if you visit please don't take up multiple spots. Due to poor parking skills of other visitors, I ended up driving to the Humberwood Library and walking back. The hike took me along the West Humber Trail, but I ended up getting a bit lost walking back to the arboretum. The trail is nicely paved and is well-suited for bicycles.
